If you’re going to plagiarize somebody’s book—with merely a find & replace name change—should you:
A) At least change the title?
B) Not also copy and paste the actual publisher’s blurb?
C) At least not use N*Sync? C’mooooooon.
Blatant theft found here (I don’t know how long the link will work. The whole shebang will no doubt be yanked soon.) UPDATE: THE PURLOINED STORIES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
She’s being most delightfully shredded.
UPDATE: One of the authors plagiarized, Douglas Clegg, has blogged about it: here

Dang methinks it’s already been yanked. C’mon Shan, I’m a frustrated ambulance chaser here… gimme the dirt, who (whom?) did she plagiarize?

One of the comments says “You mean *steal* another Slayer story from Karen Kohler” … not familiar with Karen Kohler’s work myself, but that’s the best clue I can find.

The stories appear to have been taken down, but there were several authors plagiarized, including our friend Jaci.
This :censor: literally took Jaci’s book, changed the character names and posted it on the internet as her own. Didn’t even change the title. Dumbass. :rant:

HUh? Wha? What’d I miss?

I hope the authors sue that bastard. That’s a crime even if (s)he didn’t get any money out of it.

She could have at least plagiarized me to CSI or something more compelling than NSync. Geez.
